Tiempo: Visual Focus Timer
A little space for focus
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Watch your focus take shape: sand gathers, water rises, a mosaic fills in. On iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV, with no account and no data collected.
Watch your focus take shape.
Choose a full-screen canvas and start a session. Sand gathers grain by grain, water rises and sways, tiles assemble into a mosaic, and a painting appears stroke by stroke. When the time is up, the picture is complete.
CANVASES
• Sand, drawn live grain by grain as your session runs
• Minimal, a quiet line that traces the time around the screen
• Clock and Flip Clock, for timed or untimed sessions
• With Tiempo Unlock: Water, Mosaic and Painting, drawn live as your session runs; Meditation, a guided breathing practice with optional sound and gentle haptics; and the Hourglass. Each has a 20-second preview.
FOCUS YOUR WAY
• Set your own focus and break lengths, pause when you need to, or end early and keep the time you focused
• Take the break Tiempo offers when a session ends, or skip it
• Soundscapes: white, pink and brown noise, Garden and Zen, and with Tiempo Unlock recorded rain, rain with thunder, ocean and fire
• Finish with a completion card, and share or save a picture of a finished canvas
• Alarms on iPhone and iPad, and a stopwatch, kept apart from your focus time
PLAN AND LOOK BACK, WITH TIEMPO UNLOCK

EVERYWHERE YOU ARE

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• A new look for Plan, Notes, History and Insights: light in Light Mode, dark in Dark Mode, with each topic in the color of a canvas.
• Plan shows your day as one line: what's planned, what you've focused, and now.
• Notes sit in two columns, and History tints each day with its main topic.
• Tap a checklist box or a bullet to tick it off, right on the Notes page or in the note.
• Insights says what your time made: this week, something a canvas would fill; this month, a journey about as long; all time, your grains of sand, cups of water, paintings and tiles.
• Siri and Shortcuts: start, pause, resume or end a session, take a break, meditate, or ask how long you've focused today.
• A Start Focus button for Control Center, the Lock Screen and the Action button.
• A Focus, like Work, can start a Tiempo session, and end and save it when the Focus ends.
• Meditation can save to Apple Health as mindful minutes. Turn it on in the meditation settings.
